For the borders, maybe either: Replace the simple thick line with a nice, flowing, utterly fake language. (Think Middle-Earths Elvish) Or have something less POP (which I assume is "wanted" for ease of reference) like again, the flowing script idea, but built more into the earth, in your colour.

[quote who="Denryu" reply="28" id="2632613"]It really seems like the sky is the limit with Elemental. It also sounds like the internal build is vastly farther along. Will beta 2 be pretty close to your internal build or is it still going to be pretty stripped down as far as content goes?[/quote] The entire point of advancing Beta a step (3 becomes 2, 4 becomes 3, 5 becomes 4) is because of the huge amounts of extra work they have to do to strip our version from their ve

I'd be willing to take on the job, I think, if, gods forbid, you up and vanish. I think there are several more qualified/longer 'round people that would be willing, however. But, I'll be here, if need be. As for you, Sir Raven of the Awesome Chair, keep kicking long as you can. It wouldn't be the same around here without your opinions, or your candor.
I'll take a peak through your current list and think about it. No promises. I enjoy semi-trolling a lot, but I would like to contribute a bit more than sideline funny remarks and the occasional idea. Whatever your health problems are, good luck with them, and if you disappear, I hope you reappear soon enough. You amuse me. [e digicons]:D[/e] But again, no promises yet.

[quote who="KickACrip" reply="14" id="2631518"] Orvi - What game are you talking about, and when was the last time it was down? The only reply I have is - you guys seems to be getting much more disconnects that I did. Like I said, I haven't played a multiplayer game in a few weeks, but a d/c wasn't something regularly that happened to me. Try Steam customer service if you need to, when I used them in the past they were very good.[/quote] MW2 was m
[quote who="KickACrip" reply="11" id="2631496"] I just don't get the "it's built around Steam, so it's Steams problem" argument. You bought a game from a company that considers the PC platform bottom tier - put the blame where it belongs. [/quote] See, if he weren't disconnected from Steam so frequently, I'd agree with you. But! Like all games with Steamworks; Game With Steamworks; If Steamworks = Dow
[quote who="MagicwillNZ" reply="25" id="2631245"] Quoting borba671, reply 24True that. Psychologists can go take a hike - they have lots of fallacious ideas that are better left out of the mainstream. I think the whole "you RPG who you really want to be" has been discredited for about 20 years, also with the idea that people stop being able to tell reality from fiction if they RP too much. Then again, with some people I meet...[/quote] Urge, to make, Jac
[quote who="Nesrie" reply="8" id="2631383"] And since it requires Steam, is built around Steam, I don't see a problem with the OP giving some blame to Steam. Like DethAdder said, IW came out and pretty much gave a middle finger to their PC customers. It was unfortunate those customers opened up their wallets anyway.[/quote] Don't get me wrong. Steam is entirely part of the problem, especially if he's having that many disconnects. I'm simply saying the not
Finally picked up the entirety of GalCiv 2 from the huge discount. Much love for you folks there. I always really, really wanted to get into Sins, but I could never play it for more then a few minutes by my lonesome. Maybe the expansion packs will change that. . . Here Stardock, have more of my money. You've earned it.
I think you might have a more specific problem, Charles, with Steam. I haven't D/Ced from Steam in a week or so, so I'm due for one. But the last time I had a major one (more than 10/15 minutes) was during the Altitude week. And, I was wrong on MW2, sorry about that. They aren't selling it because it does require Steam. Which is annoying, to say the least. I know BF:BC2 is sold elsewhere at least.
Punkbuster is a miserable failure. As for MW2 server problems, that's IWs fault, not Steam, giving you things like "Host Migration" and "Server Disconnected" issues. The only time Steam is the issue is when you get the "Steam Disconnected" problem. Which, unless you have some sort of serious Steam malfunction, is a moderately uncommon occurrence. You can play BF:BC2 AND MW2 over Direct2Drive, EA Online Store, GamersGate (I think? I don't remember)
We actually already. . .uh, hrm *Digs about in the forums a moment* Ah-hah! https://forums.elementalgame.com/382205 It's on sale for 15 bucks (plus tax obviously) and well, well worth it. I bought it for 30 from the makers themselves, so I felt slightly cheated. . .for about 5 seconds, then realized I've gotten 50 dollars (or more) worth out of this title, so I still feel great about it. Give it a go, either way.
[quote who="buzzh58" reply="70" id="2631136"]Played Softball Saturday afternoon, then had Rugby on Sunday. Both were played outside under sunny skies with a little breeze blowing into my face. Damn, I'm such a nerd![/quote] What is this. . .sun you speak of? Is it the new game from Irrational? This breeze concept sounds interesting. A new way to control your dudez?
Ohhhh. I expect to hear something about Elemental on Idle Thumbs soon, then. Delicious info, come to me!
[quote who="AceQ" reply="75" id="2630231"]Off topic a bit: As much as I agree with Frogboy about the hardware, I can't help but wonder what the game could be with a community like XBL. The Xbox hardware is inferior but having 10+ million people fire up a single breathing community on a daily basis is just amazing. The fragmentation of the PC userbase has always been and will continue to be an issue. [/quote] As is the issue
I've been trying to reply to the topic "Necromancy" for a couple days now. I should stop faffing about and actually go find out if there is some sort of necromancy in the game. . . Huzzah forum failures! Making me productive.
I despise Comrade. I still use the Download Manager D2D first used (even if I have to go trawling through FilePlanet to get it on reformat). Like SumoX said, it sucks RAM pretty heavily, takes a long while to boot and when it does, it's subject to any number of rather serious problems. It ain't getting back on my computer, that's for sure.
[quote who="Fuzzy Logic" reply="23" id="2629410"]It just happened to me trying to create a new thread in Support. How TF are you supposed to create a new thread?[/quote] Your avatar is too awesome to allow it. Yeah, I've been having this problem as well. I think the only thing to do is ride it out, sadly.
[quote who="Jack Trowell" reply="12" id="2629285"]Look good, but what about netbooks ? [/quote] I believe Brad has stated notebooks get cloth map, if they can play it at all.
I like this idea. I can't promise I wouldn't write something overly wordy, but I like the idea.

Something that's been missing in PC games for a long time.Orvidoscomment 57 I was looking sideways at that since it released, because I'm pretty sure Book I was in a bargain bin in Best Buy 8 or 9 years ago. Book I was released November 2007, you're probably thinking of something else. If you're interested you can download a
